]]>Despite earning the dubious distinction of being the hottest woman on planet Earth following the only meaningful moment in the movie 'Transformers,' Megan Fox tells GQ magazine that she is not going to rest on her laurels...she wants to be taken seriously as an actor.
â€œI booked 'Transformers' having no clue what I was doing,â€ she tells GQ. â€œAnd then, all of a sudden, it was like: Youâ€™ve got to get your game together fast. It sucks, but Iâ€™m trying.â€
In case you were under a rock, Fox reached intergalactic sex appeal when 'Transformers' director Michael Bay filmed her bending over the hood of a Camaro.
In the interview with GQ, the 22-year-old actor admits that her instant celebrity status has caused some anxiety (she takes Xanax) and pressure to prove that she is more substance than sexy.
â€œI want people to know me through the movies I do,â€ she says. â€œI want to be judged on that. If you start becoming famous for your personal life, thatâ€™s when your career goes away.â€
Fox is well-known for being candid in interviews and the GQ session is no exception.
The temptress opens up about her insatiable libido and says that it wouldn't bother her if she were typecast as the sexy girl in comic-book flicks.
â€œI love those types of movies. And I donâ€™t mind being sexyâ€”if itâ€™s a character with a backstory and an arc and something progresses.â€
Fox also goes on the offensive with an attack on Disney for forcing apologies from Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens after posing in controversial photos:

â€œWith any of the Miley Cyrus s***, or any of that Vanessa Hudgens s***â€”I would never issue an apology for my life and for who I am," says Fox. "Itâ€™s like, Oh, Iâ€™m sorry I took a naked, private picture that someone is an a****** and sold for money. Iâ€™m sorry if someone else is a ****. No. You shouldnâ€™t have to apologize. Someone betrayed Vanessa, but no oneâ€™s angry at that person. She had to apologize. I hate Disney for making her do that. F*** Disney.â€

The actress indulges GQ in some steamy details about a love affair she had with a female stripper when she was an 18-year-old in Hollywood:

"Well, that year my boyfriend broke up with me, and I decidedâ€”oh man; sorry, Mommy!â€”that I was in love with this girl that worked at the Body Shop [a strip club on Sunset Boulevard]. I decided that I was going to get her to love me back, and I went out of my way to create a relationship with this girl, a stripper named Nikita."

Fox and GQ were in San Diego for the annual Comic-Con convention where the actress spent some quality time at the Batman booth...perhaps researching a role for an upcoming 'Dark Knight' movie?
